#AmazingPetExpo, Long Beach, CA, Feb. 2, 2013

February is the month of love, and animal lovers can start the month by showing their canine or cat companions who much they care at a day devoted to all with paws.

Celebrity Spotting

Fans of Fidos will rally around reality personality Shorty Rossi and his barking buddy Hercules as they continue their crusade to end BSL. The star of the Animal Planet series Pit Boss will take the stage to promote a positive image of Pit Bulls, sign autographs and pose for pictures with people with a passion for Pitties in support of his charities.

Other Activities

Dogs will show off their dexterity during an agility demonstration, with one lucky attendee and their tail-wagging chum chosen from the audience to try out the course. A Q&A session follows the demonstration.

Fashion forward Fidos can don disguises for a chance to win the Pet Costume Contest.

Spots can show off their skills in the Animals Got Talent! competition.

A happening with heart, potential pet parents can find a furry friend during the Banfield Pet Hospital-sponsored Mega-Adoption Event, which will feature more than 300 adorable adoptables from area rescues groups.

…and much more!
